Onion 'Reg O'Connor' Cipollini

Allium cepa

A farmer improved white cipollini (‘Early Melbourne White’ in the Melbourne markets) onion with a very sweet, mild flavour. Delicious carmelisation with heat. Versatile variety, can be used for fresh bunching market and mature, dried in braids. Improved bulb density with tighter rings for longer storage. Taste test winner! February - April sowing is possible where winter is moderate. Reliably produced early bulbs in our 37 latitude from early Spring sown plants.

This seed was past to us from the collection of Reg O’Connor, a Melbourne market grower. We trialed it against many other white cipollinis and found it to have a fuller shaped bulb, even though it is still flat like a cipollini, with tighter rings then any of the others and hence a longer storage life. We have continued our selection trying to eliminate double heads and only producing seed from those bulbs that lasted through Winter.
